It's defiantly worth the trip John.
The talks look fast and furious and the audience with
Sir Patrick Moore is worth the whole trip.
You can see a report I wrote here when Dave and I went over last year...
Word of warning though...
Go over on the Thursday and get up fresh on the Friday.
We went over Fri Morning and we were Knackered!!!

I won't be going this year as I've a lot on already with going to the
States in March and Siberia in August.

John, I will not be making the trip this year, but from Frank and Dave's account of last year it seems to be well worth the effort. With the Aer Lingus connection discontinued this might affect the accessability of the venue -- but I think Ryanair still go to Stansted. If you do make the trip dont forget to post a report.
